Introduction to Saint Augustine

from Through the Church Fathers

Augustine’s Confessions is not a theological textbook—it is a soul laid bare before God. In this episode, we introduce one of the most honest spiritual works ever written, where Augustine speaks directly to God about sin, memory, desire, grace, and mercy. This daily reading functions as the devotional heartbeat of Through the Church Fathers, reminding us that theology begins not with mastery, but with repentance. Augustine does not confess to impress us; he confesses because he cannot stand before God without mercy—and neither can we.Explore the Project:Through the Church Fathers – https://www.throughthechurchfathers.com Patreon – https://www.patreon.com/cmichaelpatton Credo Courses – https://www.credocourses.com Credo Ministries – https://www.credoministries.org#ThroughTheChurchFathers #Augustine #TheConfessions #ChristianDevotion #Grace #ChurchHistory #SpiritualFormation
